Question

So, if you fit a fmic, what do you do with the bonnet scoop?

    Any no-muppet answers appreciated!

    I saw a white scooby at Torque Developments last year where the scoop had been truned around, bit of chopping & filling required.

    Looked unusual, but somewhere for the hot under bonnett air to come out of, others fit a sport bonnett, others fit an oil cooler where the Inter cooler was & keep the scoop in its oriogional possition.

    Duncan.
    I have recently fitted a fmic to CK1.
    I'm undecided whether to simply leave the bonnet as it is or fit something a bit more individual. I don't think I'll turn the scoop around though.
    I was planning to fit a top mount oil-cooler (like the car in this months Banzai) but I'm really undecided.
    I've seen a fab bonnet on a Jap website that may just have to grace CK1.

    There is a tiny amount of lag, but nothing to be concerned about. The car is still amazingly driveable.
